We still remember every word of Carole King’s songs. Don’t believe us? Just take this little quiz.

By Roz Warren and Janet Golden

Carole King is one of the defining voices of our generation. We grew up singing her hits, and her influence endures to this day. (There’s even a smash musical, “Beautiful,” about King’s life, running on Broadway.) Decades after we first heard them, we still remember every word. Don’t believe us? Just take this — not entirely serious — little quiz.
